* Fixed netcardconf .filetool.lst entry
* Moved native Fltk scheme to .Xdefaults

Files likely in your backup that need updating:
.Xdefaults
.jwmrc
.fluxbox/menu
.dfmdesk/Exit

Did you add the change to the apt sources?

I don't know if this happens also in 4.4.9, but during boot time I see an error that "says" something like this:
loadndisdriver load_all_devices(481) /etc/ndiswrapper no such file or directory

That would be in the extension dsl-dpkg and not in the base iso.
So it would appear that that extension would need to be updated.

/etc/ndiswrapper/ is typically used to store Windows drivers
In DSL we typically specify the full path to the Windows driver by using the -i option and therefore we don't need to copy an existing driver and/or add an etc/ndisrwapper to the .filetool.lst.

I have updated both the .dsl and .unc versions of dsl-dpkg to reflect the Debian Woody repository change.

from the control panel filetool.lua is executed by the normal user.
filetool.sh is executed by root.

from  backup/restore item menu filetool.lua is executed by root.
filetool.sh is executed by root.


from dslext  filetool.sh is executed by the normal user.

If u do a backup either from the system menu or from the control panel, then u shutdown the pc with the cheched box backup checked in dslexit, the system gives an error, this is because the first backup leaves the file /tmp/backup_status that is owned by root.

A solution could be to put sudo in front of filetool.sh in the file exitcheck.sh.

After more testing I was still seeing some failures trying to pass only the "$?" so instead I test for a non-empty /tmp/backup_status. I also added more text to the various pop ups. Since we have rootless mounts I would rather do less sudo when possible. Anyway, here is 4.4.10
